Questions & Answers about کابل به شبکه وصل میشود، مگر نه؟
How exactly does the question tag مگر نه work at the end of this sentence?
مگر نه literally translates to something like "unless not," but it functions exactly like the English tag "right?" or "isn't it?". You just add it after a comma at the end of a regular statement to ask for confirmation. You could also swap it out for اینطور نیست (isn't it like this?) in this sentence with the exact same meaning.
Why does "connects" translate to the two-word phrase وصل میشود?
This is a compound verb, which is very common in Farsi. وصل means "connection" or "attached," and it is paired with the helper verb شدن (to become). So, وصل میشود literally means "becomes connected."
Could I use وصل میکند instead of وصل میشود?
Not in this sentence! وصل میکند uses the helper verb کردن (to do/make), which means a person is actively connecting something (for example, "He connects the cable"). Because the cable itself is the thing getting connected here, we must use شدن (to become) so it means "The cable gets connected."
Does the verb for connecting always use the preposition به?
Yes! Just like in English where a device connects "to" a network, Farsi uses the preposition به (to). You will always place به right before the destination, which in this sentence gives us به شبکه (to the network).
